@itsbribro @ganeshie8

Answer 6

we have 2 equations that we can construct with this

Answer 7

okay

Answer 8

equation 1 is: A is 8 more than, 3 times B

equation 2 is: A - 2B is -3

Answer 9

okay

Answer 10

i think the answer is c

Answer 11

@amistre64

Answer 12

A = 8 + 3B
A-2B = -3

subtract one from the other to get

A = 8 + 3B
-A+2B = +3
---------------
2B = 11 + 3B

hmm, im getting B = -11

gotta chk to see that im reading it right to start with then

Answer 13

4ties A is 8 more than .... so

4A = 8 + 3B
A-2B = -3


4A = 8 + 3B
-4A+8B = 12
------------------
8B = 20 + 3B

thats better

Answer 14

@amistre64 srry, but just making sure this is c right?

Answer 15

8B = 20 + 3B , solve for B

Answer 16

B=-3 is what I found am I correct?

Answer 17

lets check and see

8B = 20 + 3B

8(-3) = 20 + 3(-3)

-24 = 20 - 9

-24 = 11

nope, not going to work out is it

Answer 18

no

Answer 19

B=-1 maybe

Answer 20

no its a
